Purpose of the program:
-----------------------
MacExplorer is a Windows program allowing to analyze Macintosh files stored on a Windows NT Server using the standard Services For Macintosh (SFM).
Main features:
- Runs on 95/98/NT4/NT2000
Note: MacExplorer runs on 95/98 but the peculiarities of the Macintosh files are not displayed on this platform (signatures, resource sizes, comments) 
- Automatic connection to the Macintosh servers (i.e. on the connected Windows NT running SFM) and to the Macintosh volumes; invalid volumes are also recognized (for example when the corresponding NT directories are renamed or removed).
- Display and can modify the Type/Creator codes (Signatures) 
- Display the Macintosh type of the files (XPress, Photoshop, Word, etc.), allowing to a Windows user to know the kind of the files without their 3 characters extensions 
- Allow to open Macintosh files without their Windows 3 characters extensions; for example, a Macintosh Quark XPress document without the QXD extension can be opened in a Windows Quark XPress by a double-click 
- Highlight the paths containing Unicode characters not allowed by Windows 95/98 (files or folders names containing characters like /, \, <, >, ?, *, etc.) 
- Display the sizes of data forks and resource forks 
- Display and can modify the Macintosh comments
